The Bishop of Worcester’s eldest son, hitherto Land Agent for the Earl of Haddington’s Estates in Cheshire, has resigned his agency and received a commission as Lieutenant in the R.N.V.R. He has been appointed in the HMS Riviera, which “mothers” the sea-planes. Mr. Yeatman-Biggs is married with three children, so the sacrifice of enlisting has been considerable. The Bishop’s only other surviving son has also put his services at the disposal of the Admiralty;
